  • Method and system for estimation of stress of a person using photoplethysmography
    Patent number: 10881345
    Abstract: A system and method for determining a stress level of a person is provided. The system creates a numerical solution to mathematical model of a blood pressure (BP) regulation, lumped mathematical model of a radial artery and partial differential equation (PDE) model of the radial artery. These models are then used to generate an inference engine using the mathematical model of blood pressure (BP) regulation, the lumped mathematical model of the radial artery and the PDE model of the radial artery. The inference engine is trained using an artificial neural network technique. At the same time the PPG signal of the person is sensed and preprocessed. The preprocessed PPG signal is then given to the trained inference engine. The trained inference engine generates a stress parameter corresponding to the person based on the processed PPG signal.

  • System and method for graphical model processing
    Patent number: 10817628
    Abstract: In a graphical modeling environment supporting a model having at least two different analysis frameworks operating therein, a system and corresponding method of processing the graphical model modify the model to group model portions together for processing in the same analysis framework. Model parts are identified and associated with the analysis framework in which they operate. Model parts are then grouped based on their association with their analysis framework to form model portions that operate in one of the different analysis frameworks, In instances where topological separation of model portions operating in the same analysis framework occurs, the system and method reconfigure intervening model portions to be amenable with operation in the analysis framework of the surrounding model portions to improve processing efficiency.

  • Real-time electromagnetic environmental simulator
    Patent number: 10803210
    Abstract: A simulator is provided for dynamically testing and evaluating an electromagnetic radiation in real-time. The performance of radiation from a system-under-test is evaluated as it interacts with a moving target in an ever-changing simulated environment. The simulator includes a computer for synchronized control of a PNT database and of an environmental database. In detail, the PNT database contains Position, Navigation and Timing (PNT) information of the target, and the environmental database contains information pertaining to meteorological conditions and topographical characteristics in the simulated environment. In combination, the computer evaluates a synchronized interaction of the electromagnetic radiation with the PNT information from the PNT database, under conditions set by the environmental database. A response record for evaluating a performance of the system-under-test is thereby created.

  • Simulation device for carrying out simulation based on robot program
    Patent number: 10789395
    Abstract: A simulation device capable of executing a proper simulation without changing a program, while the definition of virtual peripheral equipment and/or a PLC is not necessary. A signal status setting file, which is separated from a robot program, can be executed in parallel with the program, and includes a command for setting or changing a signal status described corresponding to a line in execution of the program, wherein the status is referenced by executing the line of the program. For example, a command of the file, described corresponding to a fifth line of the robot program, commands inputting a signal which indicates that the opening motion of a door is completed. Therefore, when the simulation is executed, in synchronization with the line in execution of the program, the setting or changing of the signal status, described corresponding to the line in execution, is performed.
